Four adults and two children were relocated after a two-alarm fire swept through a Jersey City two-story wood-framed house and spread to a neighboring building this evening, Fire Director Armando Roman said.

Jersey City firefighters were called on the report of a fire at 6:45 p.m to 43 Sheffield St.

The blaze then spread to the neighboring residential building at 41 Sheffield St., Roman said. The fire was brought under control at 7:40 p.m.

Fire damage could also be seen to the siding of a third building at 45 Sheffield Street.

Authorities counted six displaced residents from both buildings who were provided emergency housing by the American Red Cross of Northern New Jersey, Roman said.

Fire investigators were still at the building at around 8:30 p.m. trying to determine the cause and origin of the blaze. No injuries were reported.
